Bring the world to your website

Weebly is of course the best way to build your own website, but now we're piloting a new program that would let a professional design team create your Weebly website for you! After a quick consultation about what you need on your website, our design partners would go to town, building you a website worthy of an award. Once you're satisfied, the website would be transferred into your Weebly account so you can update it using the familiar Weebly editor.

We're looking for a few volunteers who'd like to give this a try, for free. It's okay if you already have a website -- we can redesign it! For this pilot test, we're primarily in search of small business owners looking for a more professional website & design. We're only able to select a few volunteers for this opportunity, but in the future, this service will be available to everyone for a reasonable fee. Just click the link below to apply, and if selected, our design partners will be in touch with you shortly. We'd love to hear what you think in the comments.

Update 10/12: We have received an overwhelming number of volunteers and do not need more at the moment. Thank you!

Update 10/28: We've contacted the handful of people selected for this pilot test. We had so many great candidates and unfortunately can't build everyone a free site -- I wish we could!Thank you to everyone who applied! We will make a future blog post to announce when the custom built website service is available.

You're doing what I'm doing, except I just pinpointed one company that had good moral fiber, and felt worthy of the favor. Now, I have businesses here locally offering to pay me cash up front for me to do the same for them. Smart way to create work in an economy where work is hard to find. Best of luck you guys! You're doing a good thing. (Pssst, you can email me back and tell me what you think of my website so far.)

I have submitted a proposal to help me start a website for people researching community mental health issues with the aim of developing a vocational consultancy service to help improve services. - Would be great to have your help to get started on my website.!!!

If, on the odd chance I don't get chosen, I'd like to see Vimala get the opportunity. His/Her cause is near and dear to my heart. While I've been building my foodservice business I've been busy taking online classes for my BA in Psychology. What he/she is proposing would be a huge step in the right direction for mental health advocacy. Go, Vimala!

I have reprogramming the look of Weebly for people and businesses since March. Its actually a great job! Everyone is so happy too. Well needed service too. Website then looks kick ass with the power of the easy weebly editor. I you would like my services I would be happy to help you. Don't settle for a system template. Get one that is designed for your business!

this is awesome. it would greatly benefit those like me. I have been messing around on creating a site because i'm unsure of how to create my business site to keep visitors coming back so i can promote affiliate products. I'm on a tight budget. Weebly is a life saver!

This is such a great idea. We would love to be chosen as one of the volunteers. Little iD4Me is a great company that needs a lot of website help, and this is why we applied. Thanks for introducing such a great idea and we hope we get selected. Keep up the great work Weebly!

I would love for you to help with my website. Even if you don't I would love some tips on how to make a great professional looking site. The sites I have seen from weebly have looked extraordinary. Congrats to you all with your websites!!

I would love to apply!!! How does it work? I only have a weebly blog account right now!

I already created my first site on Weebly whith more than 800 pics, no problem! Although i live on an other continent,it works well all the time. It's alreaddy a wonderfull result. Adding a nice heather and a introduction movie to would be my next desire.Marc

I would really appreciate the opportunity to receive assistance and guidance from your team. I am starting a new business and would deeply appreciate help and support, and I am a bit technically challenged. Many thanks. Bonnie

This can be grate!i'm trying to build a website for my wife. it will be a gift for oure anyversery.she want's to start her own little busines. progresse is not so wel. But i'm getting there and maby with your help!!??

feeling pretty confident with my own design background and skill set so using WSISYG with weebly.com is almost elementary. Since my site is purely for entertainment and not running a business, I will praise you for my site but pass on applying for this beta. Leave it to business!

I'll be publishing this website this week, but I would love to have Weebly select it to refine into a more professional site, not necessarily before the publishing date I have set for this week, but when your design team is ready to give it a 'make over'. I have a few limitations regarding graphic content that perhaps you could assist with while maintaining the integrity of the design concept that I have begun as it is an essential refelection of our sense of 'place' (of our geographical and historical and indeed philosophical origin). In short, there is intent in the very simple graphics/color scheme...That said, I hope our site is selected for the professional 'Weebly ' touch!

Weebly, I applied for this the second I saw it. It's a great opportunity, I hope my new counselling practice in Dublin, Ireland is worth consideration! You could have great fun bringing it from static to interactive... thanks for the chance to apply. E.

Hi,I am the mum of Jack who is a 9 year old school boy was has come up with a great idea for a website. He needs a little help to design it and I am trying my best to accomodate him but unfortunately I am no web designer. I am even struggling to discover how to post it live! Any help would therefore be much appreciated! I am not sure if you have already picked your volunteers.Suzy

...very nice idea! It'll be very useful to anyone who'd like to have a more professional website.If the fee won't be too expensive it'll be a great opportunity for a lot of Weebly users!Weebly you're great!

An amazing opportunity for many of us trying to get started with a business in this diffacult economy. I have found Weebly to be the most user-friendly of the "create your own website" sites, and friends have liked my website so much they started playing around and now have their own! Thanks for the opportunity. I would be honored if chosen to volunteer.Kindest RegardsMelissawww.puppycompany.net

I am a graphic designer who is just getting started and I do not have the web design skills to promote myself as I would like to. I want to target ministries and non profit organizations to design print media mostly. Can you help me with this? The website I have nowI designed with weebly.

Hey,I just made a website for weebly members to help members make there websites look pretty good. The Website is www.weeblyhelpforums.weebly.com. I also need help building this site up. so if anyone wants to help please email me at andrew35133@live.com. If you need help I will help you just help me get this website started.

We are just getting our virtual assistant business off the ground and have been looking into paid solutions - if weebly could offer this it would be such a great idea! I would love for our site to be picked by the weebly team as a test-drive!

I really need some help. I'm just starting up my small online business. While I'm not expecting to make a mil in 6 months or less....lol, I do hope to earn decent money part time while working my full time job....I really hope to quit this job soon.

Can a website help a village find a meaningful answer to homelessness and keep the spirit of Christmas bright? Weebly was, hands down, the fastest way for us to get in the game. The Dundarave Festival of Lights is now at $10,000 and counting, one fifth of the way to our ultimate goal. A sweet site redesign might help build more excitement and make some magic happen. How about helping? There's glory enough for all.

You guys are way awesome!! I'm helping my dad's small business with its website, and no way are we able to have such a web presence without WEEBLY!! Eventhough we've missed the opportunity for free web design, I'm eager to see what your team will put together for other small biz! You guys rock and should def consider adding domain transfer options for those of us who purchased domains prior to finding a host:)

I would really appreciate you guys taking on my website! I've built it up to the point that it's at but there are definitely a few things that I would like to change but do not know how to! I built this website to start my own jewelry business, so I am hoping it is a good blend of professional and personality!

Amazing idea to market weebly :). But also a great opportunity for small business owners who want to expand their Entrepreneurial skills and ideas. Pick ME! I want to change hosting company and start my website from scratch! I need to step it up :).

I'm so sorry I missed the opportunity to sign up for a "makeover." I've created an ancillary website with Weebly and would like to convert my main website to Weebly, because Weebly is so easy to use and has so many great features!

I wish I had discovered this site long before now. I have had a website in design for over a year now, but just haven't progressed with it. Started here only today, but would love to have had a professional 'do it' for me. For instance, so far my header, combination of my logo and slogan look horrid and gives quite the wrong impression. What a terrific idea this site and your ideas are.

I have a non-profit organization to promote sustainable practices for home owners, with a specific focus on water conservation and designing landscapes with greywater systems. If there is any opportunity for help it would be much appreciated.

Need help for a website that is timely in its relevance but not adequately supported in the variety of traditional designs currently available. Your help here will open up new avanues with a growing industry. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

Writer/Producer needing help with his film website. I'm good at the screenwriting and producing stuff, but when it comes to building a webpage I need all the help I can get. Help me out and I'll even throw in a few free dvds. Thanks!

Wow! What a great idea! We have just launched a new business and we have so many wonderful ideas. Many of these ideas require that we have a specific site for each branch of our business. We would love the opportunity to try your service and look forward to giving you our opinion.

I am a graphic artist who specializes in photography.I think that if given the opportunity to critique your services, you will find my opinion valuable.

i am a broken weebly designer take me apart and put me back together in the best weebly way. i am all yours.newbly weebly

well i have a website on weebly ...more a forum community with game walkthrough...it would be nice to see some refinement...this is really a good idea...and a cool feature would be integrating forums in the W.E. ...something more professional than nabble forums...maybe PHPbb...

where do i sign up! i work full time and want to have this website full of google adsense and make some extra money.i would like my website made by weebly and hope you get in touch with me asap... very eager and motivatedthanks

Cool, I just purchased a domain name through weebly. I desperately need a storytellers cute style sheet, none of the ones weebly currently have will allow me to create content the way I need. The current style sheets will not hold my heading as I want it to read. So, please, I need help!

Yeah I like weebly, but why cant I apply??? I mean, cant you have one more person?!

Hi there. What a great idea! I'm just starting to (hopefully!) create a website through Weebly....and must admit I haven't a clue of what I'm doing! Could certainly use professional help (with the website too!). Hope you pick us! Thanks so much.

I am a web designer who is looking into adding Weebly to my list of sites to build for. I also am a Weebly Pro customer who LOVES Weebly and the ease of use for myself and clients. I would love to apply to be on your list of design team hopefuls. :) I am currently working on building my own custom site to work with Weebly. Thanks for a great service!

I find this a great opportunity to have a good site, but I am not sure if what I want is possible. In fact, I would like to have a weebly website for a local web based radio station, i.e. radio station that would run only through that website. I would appreciate if you could explaint to me if weebly can support something like that.

Wow. Wish I had been more diligent in viewing the updates, I surely could have benefited from a website re-design or a brand spanking new website!!! Great idea. Can't wait to see the "Weebly Websites." Extremely interested in the prices for this service.

Take me I'm yours.I do cooking classes, cooking and consciousness, and I am in the process of writing a vegetarian cook book which was already accepted for publication. I am in the process of writing it now.ThanksDonna

I was just talking about you guys today! My son runs for his cross country team and I make videos of the runners, and such. Parents are having mixed reviews over the facebook page that was set up for them. I would love to have a site for them to link up to it, have there own password protection and be able to enjoy pics, videos, comments (moderated), perhaps uploading there own? It would need some kind of guidance, and have the ability to portrait different divisions and such.

Great Job on everything else... If I am not picked, I just want to let you know this is one of the easiest site builders, that's why I was talking about it today!

We are a brand new triathalon club set up in Ireland. The club is a great success and the members are worthy of a top quality site. The current website meets a purpose but it would be great to have a site to be proud of.

I'm very happy with my free website, and I offered to create one for this cat shelter that is saving cats from being killed. I know you said there were no more volunteers needed for the free web building, but I was wondering if anyone would help with this, being that it is such a good cause and will save many cat lives.

Also, if you can give me any tips on how to import and website template into the site, I would appreciate it!

I'm a Rottweiler Breeder and I just want the best website out their. Our goal at TBRotties is to better the Rottweiler breed by producing top quality, sound Rottweiler puppies. We want a website to match our dogs..Take care and God Bless.

Hi, I would very much like to get assistance creating my site. I have spent hours trying to create it, without too much luck... I am realising that I am not an web-creator artist and would like some help!

could it be possible for weebly to make others that did not make your website be able to join, and for the people that made their website to ad links to their pictures and HTML codes and stuff like that if you have adoptables and stuff.

Also, if you have something that lots of people would be willing to donate to it there should be a donations box that if they donate you can put your address without them being able to see where you live.

Working on a website for my daughter in law. She is a hair stylist and opening a home salon. I started to work on a site but it needs to have a professional look. Would love if you could help us out on this.

I know there is no need for anymore volunteers, but if there is a chance you are looking for a SALON website please use me as a volunteer.

Thanks

Dear David, I'm struggling to build my own website with weebly. Just saw your call for volunteers today but unfortunately its closed. I've been trying very hard to create one but till now its getting harder. I'm not an IT person but I need to build a website to promote my business. Would you, ifffff ever you would be kind enough to at least look into my case. I'm trying to promote my business on Malaysian Batik. Pls look into this. Regards.

I am trying to make a well known bbw or plus size website to show that big women are beautiful...example (plussizeprofile.com) twistedice is all about me and my mother doing bbw modeling. Please do ours.

OK...so I missed this offer :^( Good Luck to all of you that applied. As you can see, many people are in need of some help...myself included. Hope this service will be offered.Thanks and can't wait to see the sites.

I love weebly using it for our single property websites in our real estate business. I've researched themes in wordpress and still have not found anything I like better. I will have to purchse a few pro accounts to keep up with our homes, but it's worth it. PLEASE consider me for this project. We'd LOVE to have a custom branded template to use for our property sites. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I need some help creating a website for my club at the University of Western Ontario. Anyone interseted in creating a website for my group, Israel on Campus, please contact me. My group is about supporting Israel and providing fact about the Jewish State.

I need some help, check out my weak website I already created. PASSWORD "peace" I need to change the design or change it completely. Thanks

I am interested in building a site that can help stay home moms --and dads-- in all things house, which includes making a living. I and interested in creating a forum for ideas. I am also interested in becoming a moderator of sorts for this site, but more than anything I want to provide a forum for stay home moms and dads who need or could use help in their ongoing brain storming about how to take charge of their lives, in spite sometimes of their circumstances...

I would like to give an updated look and also perhaps get the a store on it as well. As you can see I am a small business and it takes forever to do a poster up everyday or week to distribute and the convenience of having a store would be beneficial as well. Let me know.

Hey there - What a great application. I am directing all potential clients to weebly.com, as many people are coming to me wanting websites for just $500 or less. Many are coming back wanting an intial set-up on Weebly, a walk-through, and then letting them handle everything from that point forward. Have you thought about setting up training seminars at local area headquarters? You could have professionals help people with basics on setting up a slideshow and a shopping cart, etc... Thanks.

I'm about to purchase a domain name for my site from weebly. Although, I was wondering if I could get someone to take a look at my site and wanted to play around with it to make it look more professional. I did the current by myself but I was wondering if anyone wanted to adjust things and make it look pro. I'm trying to establish a site for my region to look and check at. Also if anyone would like to make a prompt one so I could see if I would convert I'd be more than happy to check it out.

This is what I'm looking for:

An all weather site: a.) Examples like accuweather or intellicast. Something where I can take all my current info and putting it into a format like the following above.

If anyone is interested in helping me out please give me an email or call.

Dark coloring but easy to readI basically need a "couples looking for" web page that i can add different elements to as far as what types of people they are interested in height, build, race, etc. I also will have ads for different sales and suchAny help would be appreciated.
